This week on The New Arab Weekly podcast, we discuss Netanyahu's recent comments that the intensity of the war in Gaza would decrease and the recent ruling by the Israeli High Court, which said that Haredi Jews would no longer be exempt from military service. Also Egypt's fuel shortages and the intense heatwave that has lead to blackouts across the country, as well as deaths.
